Yes Riverwild, get in touch with Biogen. My insurance changed. I called them up. No co-pay on the drug, just pay for infusion costs. I don't know how to explain this properly but the insurance gets billed for the full amount of each infusion (so it goes toward your deductible) but then you only at them the reduced amount.

I'm not explaining this very clearly but after 2 infusions I have now met my out of pocket maximum due to Biogen's and my clinic's billing process. This means now all my medical care is covered 100% for the remainder of the plan
year since I reached out of pocket on the books. Anyhow it's worth contacting them. If you qualify right now the drug is free (as opposed to the old $10 copayment).

Good luck! You can't give up Tysabri. It's kept you well for so long.
